1. Your academic details look fine to me. Your roles and responsibilities in these companies will also be evaluated in for the comprehensive profile based shortlisting.2. A safe GMAT score would be somewhere between 600-650. But as I mentioned above, other sections filled in the application form (including essays) will also play a major role in making it to the final shortlist.3. Please view the placement report of the PGPM 2017-18 batch at https://www.greatlakes.edu.in/pgpm/placement-snapshotYou may also view placement reports of the previous batches by clicking on links at the bottom of this page. The market dynamic keeps changing every year due to which new areas/sectors get added to the list and the major areas/sectors keep changing.

Hi Jibbi James, I want to understand whether the cutoff for pgpm remains same in both the rounds? Because I have been told that its usually a little higher for round2. Could you please provide your insight on this.

There is no cutoff as such for any of the rounds since the approach followed for shortlisting candidates is the overall profile. Answer to your question- Both rounds are identical. If you have a score of around 600+ in GMAT, you will have equal chances of getting shortlisted, irrespective of which round you apply in.

The CAT & XAT aspirants can apply only with their last year scores in round 1 and with last year as well as upcoming CAT/ XAT exam scores in round 2 (as the results will be out only by Jan, 2019). So it's only the volume of the applications which goes up in the 2nd round.

Conclusion- Every candidate who secures a minimum eligible score (irrespective of which round the candidate applies in) and has a good overall profile will be shortlisted for the Personal Interview round.

Your academics look fine to me but GMAT score is a bit on the lower side. I can see that you have been a national level cricketer, that might give you some brownie points, but then your overall application form will be assessed before shortlisting.

My suggestion would be to apply with a better score. But If you want to take a chance, you can go ahead and apply.

Your academics looks fine to me. Gmat score also seems to be fine. Since its an overall profile based shortlisting, kindly fill in all the other details in the application form properly. I would suggest you go ahead and apply.
